Fernando Rodney allowed one run in the ninth inning against the Angels on Thursday but hung on to earn his 46th save of the season.

Rodney, tasked with protecting a 3-0 lead against an Angels team that more or less got the night off after clinching the AL West, retired the first batter of the frame before coughing up a Hank Conger homer to right. He evaded further danger, and struck out one, to improve to 46-for-49 in save opportunities to go with a 2.70 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. Fri, Sep 19, 2014 01:26:00 AM

Fernando Rodney walked four and took a loss after giving up the go-ahead run in the 10th Saturday against the A's.

Rodney hasn't had many off nights this year, but these kinds of things can happen with him. He only got out of the inning because Josh Reddick decided to take a big cut after a 2-0 pitch (and six straight balls total) and lined out to a diving Chris Taylor at shortstop. Since Rodney was pitching in a tie game, he remains 45-for-48 in his save chances. Sun, Sep 14, 2014 12:54:00 AM

Fernando Rodney threw a scoreless ninth inning against the Nationals on Sunday to earn his 39th save of the season.

Bryce Harper led off the inning with a single, bringing the tying run to the plate, but Rodney worked out of the jam without incident to earn the save. His 39 saves are second-most in the American League, and he owns a 2.28 ERA in 55 1/3 innings of work. Sun, Aug 31, 2014 08:11:00 PM

Fernando Rodney earned the save against the Red Sox on Friday, closing out the Mariners' 5-3, comeback victory.

Rodney didn't expect to pitch after Koji Uehara entered to hold a three-run lead in the top of the ninth, but the M's put up a five spot to put Rodney in line for his 37th save. And he came through, tossing a scoreless inning. His 37 saves are second-most in the American League, and the right-hander owns a 2.24 ERA through 52 1/3 innings this season.

Taylor has been sidelined since March 13 due to surgery to repair a fractured right wrist, so it's a good sign that he's already able to do some baseball activities less than two weeks later. Taylor has yet to swing a bat, a big hurdle he'll have to clear before he can start progressing toward a return. Taylor is expected to miss most of the first month of the season.

The Rangers claimed Olmos off waivers from the Mariners last month, but the claim was voided after he was diagnosed with a left shoulder impingement. The 24-year-old appears likely to begin the year on the DL.
